A collection of beautiful organic Merino yarns produced by Swans Island. Certified organic and dyed from natural sources, they have the soft hand that makes Merino wool so desirable, breathable and comfortable in any application.Suitable for knitting or weaving and even warp or weft, these beautiful yarns are available in two weights: fingering and worsted. We are introducing two natural shades and four colors, hand-dyed, in the skein. The dye process utilized by Swans Island gives these colors a subtly muted, tone-on-tone appearance, showing each color to its richest depth.Specifications
